The What of Web Hosting

DigitalOcean Free Trial & Referral Link: $10 Friend Sign Up Credit

You can get a free one to two month DigitalOcean trial by singing up through the below referral link which gives you $10 credit for free in 2018. This is limited to their $5 or $10 droplet plan; the latter being suitable for WordPress hosting.

Once you’ve clicked on the referral link provided — you should see the “Free Credit Active” notice notice while you browse the digitalocean.com website.

Simply proceed to create an account and complete registration to secure your $10 credit “from a friend” (which is me in this case).

In case you cannot see the message; either

(a) try the referral link again

(b) clear browser cache and try again or

(c) use a whole different web browser to complete the sign up process.

The $10/month plan is the best plan that you can trial through the referral link for a whole month & the cloud server resource specs include:

1GB memory

1 Core processor

30GB of SSD Storage

2TB of Bandwidth

Note! To use DigitalOcean’s “WordPress one-click application” to host WordPress websites you will need a plan with at least 1GB of memory.

This is why the $5 plan with 512MB memory cannot be used for hosting WordPress in most cases. Although those who are able to use the cheapest plan can get an even better deal of a 2 month free trial of course.

Please Note

This promotion is part of DigitalOcean’s referral program — that gives $25 in account credit to the person providing the referral link.

I receive the account credit only if you continue to use the service and pay at least $25 for future hosting on your account.

The link cannot be used on yourself to get the $25 credit on top of the $10.

Huge thanks & cosmic hug if you choose to support me!

Comments? Questions on setting up your trial account or getting a discount on DigitalOcean? Please, and get in touch with me in the message box below!

Monetary notice: As stated above; I will receive $25 in DigitalOcean account funds if you choose to register through the referral link, continue the service & use up at least $25 in total of additional hosting payments (while giving you $10 for free).

So if you benefit from this I will also; and my deepest thanks for that!
